Staff present: Colón Durham, Lackey, Miner, Henderson, Wynn, Berry Absent: Kellerer 1. Uniform Standard for Evaluating Content Competency (Rubric) for Alternative

Authorization-Content Specialist, Special Education – Action Item Lisa Colón Durham explained content specialists on an alternative authorization need to pass a content, pedagogy, or performance assessment before they can enter the classroom. The Uniform Standard for Evaluating Content Competency is another rubric that gives content specialists a way to get into the classroom while they are completing the remainder of their preparation requirements. Region 3 Superintendents have proposed this rubric be amended to allow for the counting of special education courses for those seeking certification in special education. M/S (Saffle, Wallaert): I move that we add a rubric conversation dealing with the Uniform Standard for Evaluating Content Competency for alternative authorization to a joint meeting of the Authorizations and Standards Committees in April.

Motion Carries 2. Consideration of Final Orders/Stipulation/Adoptions – Action Items There are none to consider.

3. Administrative Report Lisa Colón Durham provided an administrative report. The Educator Standards Working Group is currently in Phase Two and focusing on endorsements and certificates. A meeting in February will complete initial review of endorsements and certificates to make sure candidates are prepared to be beginning teachers in their endorsement areas. Phase Three work begins in February, which will focus on processes and procedures for educator preparation program reviews. The Governor recommended full implementation of the career ladder using discretionary funds. The February foundation payment will include movement on the career ladder except for the advanced professional rung. The May foundation payment will include all employees on the advanced professional rung of the career ladder. House Bill 599, approved by the legislature in 2020, amends Section 33-1207A, Idaho Code, to allow non-public teacher preparation programs to be held to only knowledge or substantial equivalent in the


educator preparation standards. If the program has a clinical practice requirement, the educator can receive a 5-year renewable certificate. If the program does not have a clinical practice requirement, the educator can receive a 3-year interim certificate which will have conditions to complete before they can acquire a 5-year renewable certificate. This essentially makes the hiring district responsible for providing training and support while the educator serves as the teacher of record. In addition, non-public traditional programs who are already state board approved programs are not required to adhere to Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) standards. This means that the state will not review these programs based on CAEP standards at the request of the non-public traditional program. 4. Nominating body reports Karen Pyron provided an update on behalf of the Idaho School Boards Association (ISBA). ISBA is currently working on legislation about the issuing of renewable contract status. ISBA has created a resolution that will articulate the language of the code, making clear that educators must meet certification requirements before they are able to move to renewable status. Iris Chimburas provided an update on behalf of the Idaho Indian Education Committee (IIEC). The next meeting for the committee is March 5th. They are proceeding with various work groups on updating educator and common core standards. The draft plan is to highlight educator preparation programs at the Annual Indian Education Summit. The IIEC may be contacting local educator preparation programs for participation in the summit. They are creating an annual comprehensive Indian education report; data points are currently being considered for this report. Anyone who would like additional copies of the STEM poster can contact Johanna Jones at the State Department of Education. Emma Wood provided an update on behalf of the Idaho Association of Colleges of Teacher Education. CAEP came and filled in the team on standards for initial certification for Spring of 2022. Kristi Enger provided an update on behalf of Career Technical Education. They are working in the legislature to implement a workplace readiness diploma. This would be an additional seal that is added to a student’s diploma. Kathy Davis provided an update on behalf of Idaho Education Association (IEA). They are working on full day kindergarten, mental health, and how to stay healthy in a COVID world. Maintaining a safe environment for students and educators is a priority for the IEA. Professional development for teachers in a virtual environment is also a priority. Lisa Colón Durham offered to attend a future IEA meeting to explain the Advanced Professional Endorsement rung of the career ladder. 5. LEADERSHIP TEAM REPORT – INFORMATION ITEM Kathy Davis provided the Leadership Team report. The leadership team looked over the agenda and discussed motions that would be needed. They decided to adjust the start time of the full commission meeting so as not to overlap with the Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee (JFAC) meeting. The April PSC meeting is currently scheduled to be an in-person meeting, but it is not yet known whether COVID conditions will allow it. PSC staff will make sure to keep all commission members informed about the current conditions for the April meeting.
